Vote-by-mail ballots going out to residents for city of Naples election

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. —

On Wednesday, the Collier County Supervisor of Elections office will begin sending out requested vote-by-mail ballots to domestic voters eligible to vote in the city of Naples election.

Mailings for uniformed and overseas voters began on Dec. 19.

The deadline for voters to request a ballot to be delivered by mail for the city of Naples election is 5 p.m. on Jan. 22. All vote-by-mail requests from previous years have expired, according to the Collier County Supervisor of Elections office.

Vote-by-mail ballot requests can be made here or can be called in at 239-252-8683.

The Collier County Supervisor of Elections office said ballots must be physically returned, not just postmarked, by 7 p.m. on Election Day, which is Feb. 3.

The United States Postal Service recommends that voters mail their ballots one week before the due date to account for unforeseen delays.

Voters who receive a vote-by-mail ballot and decide to vote in person on Election Day should bring the ballot to their polling location so it can be canceled.
